The fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder was actually the master of assassination, so he could even remain undetected from Tang Li Xue's [Extrasensory Perception] until now and secretly guard Elder Yang's safety from behind.
The current hiding Nascent Soul Stage elder responded almost immediately after Elder Yang had given him a signal to execute the fake Crown Prince Feng on the spot.
The fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder flashed stealthily toward the fake Crown Prince Feng from behind.
The fake Crown Prince Feng was currently still discussing the terms to release Tang Li Xue's perfect copy with Elder Yang to stall for more time, and he did not sense the fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder's movement at all.
The fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder's every movement was not only very swift but also completely undetectable without creating any sound or even gust of wind.
When the fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder arrived right behind the fake Crown Prince Feng, not even Tang Li Xue's perfect copy had realized it.
SWISH~!!!
The fourth Nascent Soul Stage elder swiftly swung his palm toward the fake Crown Prince Feng's head from behind.
If this palm strike managed to hit fake Crown Prince Feng's head, his brain would turn into mush, and he would die in an instant.
But just right before the palm strike struck the fake Crown Prince Feng's head from behind, suddenly…
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
There was a deafening sound of an explosion coming from the right side of the light barrier.
To make it much worse, Instructor Mei Lan even used her [Heavenly Sound] divine ability to amplify the deafening volume of the explosion by many times.
An earth-shattering sound of the explosion was more than enough to shock the four Nascent Soul Stage elders and stun them for a few moments.
Elder Yang had already guessed before that the fake Crown Prince Feng was currently stalling for more time until his reinforcement came, but he never thought that his reinforcements could break their Revealing Light Swords Formation this easily in such a short time.
However, He was already more prepared than the others, so the earth-shattering sound of the explosion did not affect him as much as the others.
He immediately retreated a few meters backward to keep his distance from the big explosion and the fake Crown Prince Feng.
The four Nascent Soul Stage elders woke up from their daze after a few moments and decided to retreat too.
All of them stood around Elder Yang in an instant to protect him from the incoming threat.
Meanwhile, the fake Crown Prince Feng and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was already dashing with their full speed toward where that explosion sound came from.
'Sprint faster toward that spot where that explosion came from whilst our enemies are still confused and wary!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy shouted to the fake Crown Prince Feng with her [Lock-On Telepathy] skill.
'I always want to ask you about this… You are from Fox Race too, right? Why do we need to run away from them if the reinforcements from Fox Race have come? Why don't we just slaughter them all to show them the true might of Fox Race?!' The fake Crown Prince Feng asked Tang Li Xue's perfect copy with his [Telepathy] skill while kept running madly toward the direction of the explosion.
'So, she already knew that I am from the Fox Race? And… she said 'too' so she is also a fox, just like us? So, it is true that she is that Zuo? But... why do I feel something is very strange here?' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy pondered carefully while using her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dash toward Instructor Mei Lan.
'Ah, right! Her current image is very different from what Instructor Lan had told us before. She seems so immature and did not look like a veteran inspector at all like Instructor Lan. And… she also seems very unfamiliar with Fox Race and Myriad Foxes Academy at all.' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy deduced while deeply frowned as she glanced suspiciously at the fake Crown Prince Feng.
'Is he really that Zuo or not? Sigh... I am really confused right now. Whatever... It is not the right time to doubt him for now. I will just let Instructor Mei Lan judge him later after we get out from here.' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy had decided it in her heart.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy replied to the fake Crown Prince Feng and explained patiently with her [Lock-On Telepathy] skill: 'Just so you know, my reinforcements are only four foxes, but only one of them can fight on par with one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. If those four Nascent Soul Stage elders are ganging on us together, we would surely be defeated by them! You better sprint faster, so we can escape from here as soon as possible.'
The fake Crown Prince Feng looked at Tang Li Xue's perfect copy in shock and accidentally shouted out loud: "What?!"
Elder Yang immediately felt that something was not right when he realized that the fake Crown Prince Feng and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy were sprinting together toward the direction of the explosion, so he quickly instructed the elders by his side: "We will chase and catch them now before they can escape out from here. You can kill the serial killer, but do not hurt Young Miss Chou. She is innocent and still under the effect of the illusion after all."
"Elder Wu and Elder Fang can go first to catch up with them, but please be more careful. We still do not know how many people his reinforcements are and how strong they are. If you feel something is not right, then you can immediately retreat and report it to me first." Elder Yang also told the other two elders to go on first.
It did not take long for the fake Crown Prince Feng and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy to reach the place where the explosion happened before.
There was a hole in the cage of light's wall there. It seems Instructor Mei Lan used some forceful method to make that hole.
The fake Crown Prince Feng and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy jumped out from the cage of light without any hesitation.
Instructor Mei Lan, Bing Yi, Hei Yinghao, and the real Tang Li Xue, who was still garbed in black clothes, already waited for the two of them there.
"GO!" Instructor Mei Lan said to all of them.
All of Instructor Mei Lan's students hastily pulled the fake Crown Prince Feng and sprinting away from the cage of light.
Meanwhile, the two Nascent Soul Stage elders also reached that hole at the cage of light's wall.
But just as the two of them wanted to jump out from there too, Instructor Mei Lan immediately appeared behind that hole and struck her slender palm toward them.
[Demonic Tune] plus [Heavenly Sound]… [Fatal Vibration Strike]: 3rd echo!
BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
The sudden powerful strike from Instructor Mei Lan completely caught the two Nascent Soul Stage elders off guard.
The two Nascent Soul Stage elders flew tens of meters backward and coughed several mouthfuls of blood.
After landing a powerful lethal strike at the two Nascent Soul Stage elders, Instructor Mei Lan quickly took something out from her space pouch and threw it toward the hole at the cage of light's wall.
The item that Instructor Mei Lan had thrown immediately dispersed in that instant, and then the hole at the cage of light's wall in front of her was fixed in only a few seconds.
A few seconds later, Elder Yang and the other two Nascent Soul Stage elders arrived there too, but it was already too late. The hole at the cage of light's wall was already fixed completely.
The two Nascent Soul Stage elders that got seriously wounded by Instructor Mei Lan quickly reported what happened to them to Elder Yang.
"So, there is only one powerful person at the Nascent Soul Stage level amongst them. The situation is not as bad as I thought. Let's quickly cancel this Revealing Light Swords Formation and chase after them." Elder Yang calmly instructed.
"Elder Yang, where do you know that there is only a powerful person amongst them? What if there is more than one Nascent Soul Stage expert with them?" One of the wounded Nascent Soul Stage elders asked Elder Yang with a curious tone.
"Because they will certainly not decided to waste a treasure to cover this wall only to slow us down if they have more than one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator amongst them." Elder Yang replied with his deduction.
"If it was me, I would immediately kill you two after I managed to catch you off guard and seriously wound the two of you. It means only the three of us left, and they might decide to just fight against us since they have more numbers if you include that fake Crown Prince Feng and Young Miss Chou too." Elder Yang briefly explained to them.
After Elder Yang explained everything, the confinement formation had been lifted off by the four Nascent Soul Stage elders too, and they started to chase after Instructor Mei Lan and the others again.
It was clear that Elder Yang had lied when he told the fake Crown Prince Feng that it took a very long time to lift this formation before.
…..
…
.
Instructor Mei Lan quickly caught up with Tang Li Xue and the others.
All of them were heading out from the Imperial Palace as fast as they could.
But Instructor Mei Lan suddenly frowned deeply when she observed every movement of the fake Crown Prince Feng.
"You are injured very seriously. You will only slow us down at this rate, and they will certainly catch up to us very soon. It will be better if you return to your fox form and let us carry you." Instructor Mei Lan advised the fake Crown Prince Feng.
With her improved intelligence, Tang Li Xue immediately realized that Instructor Mei Lan actually probed at the fake Crown Prince Feng to look at his fox form and check if he was really Zuo Hongzhuang or not.
